Thu, 24 May 2018 16:38:55 GMTThis is still bubbling under the surface. A lot of weird details and 'events' around this $1.6 million payoff to a mistress who got pregnant and had an abortion after her affair with, SUPPOSEDLY, Eliott Broidy, the RNC finance chair. Cohen handled it. Cohen used the same secondary attorney for the woman that he used for Daniels. Cohen used the same ALIASES for Broidy and his mistress as for Trump and Daniels on the non-disclosure agreement. David Dennison for Broidy, Peggy Peterson for the playmate. WAS IT A COVERUP FOR TRUMP? Did Broidy take the hit and do a big ask?

ONE day after the payoff gets handed over to the woman, Broidy gets to meet with Trump at the WH. Days later Broidy gets a QATAR $600 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT for 'security'.

Why It Looks Like Trump Got Playmate Pregnant -- And Broidy Covered For Him

By Susie Madrak
5/23/18 5:25am

Chris Hayes talked about this New York magazine article last night that theorizes that Trump got Playboy playmate Shera Bechard pregnant and used businessman Elliott Broidy to pay her $1.3 million in hush money.

The probable payoff for Broidy? Consulting contracts from the United Arab Emirates worth up to $600 million over five years. (Mother Jones' Kevin Drum concurs.)...

Thu, 24 May 2018 16:31:16 GMTWell, that's as succinct at title as I can make to get your attention. Nunes is part owner of the winery. (In fact one of the few assets he has listed on his federal disclosure form). There was a 'wine cruise' auctioned off as a fundraiser. Winery investors were aboard. Apparently hookers were hired. Coke was supplied. A good time was had by many or all. But it caused the non-sex workers, or at least one, to have to hide out.

You gotta read some of the details, you won't believe this shit. Gee I wonder if Nunes was on this cruise--that would CERTAINLY give us insight into his and TRUMP'S BOND!!

In 2015, Alene Anase was asked by her employer Alpha Omega Winery to serve guests as part of a charity cruise on the San Francisco Bay.
But what she expected to be a routine shift serving wine turned into a nightmare, according to court documents.

The guests aboard the yacht that night — described in her 2016 lawsuit as 25 of the Napa Valley-based winery’s top investors, all men — were openly using what appeared to be cocaine and “drawing straws” for which sex worker to hire, according to the lawsuit.

Alpha Omega, which boasts "world-class wines in a convivial setting," settled with Anase for an undisclosed amount in Napa County Superior Court the same year. The winery is owned by Robin Baggett, a major benefactor of Cal Poly, and its investors include his friend Rep. Devin Nunes.

Anase alleges that on the Aug. 12, 2015 cruise she could hear sexual activity happening in the yacht’s bedrooms and witnessed men "fondling and suckling" sex workers' breasts — some who appeared to be “too young to consent." At least one of the several John Does listed as defendants allegedly suggested that Anase should also “provide services of a sexual nature."

But she couldn't just leave — she was on the water. She called the winery seeking help, and a higher-up employee told her to "lie low" to avoid harassment, the lawsuit says.

When the cruise ended, the men “lined the prostitutes up on the deck of the yacht, reviewed out loud and in detail the sexual services performed and paid them in front of Plaintiff,” according to the lawsuit....

We were informed that the meeting was requested by North Korea, but that to us is totally irrelevant. I was very much looking forward to being there with you. Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting. Therefore, please let this letter serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place. You talk about nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used.

I felt a wonderful dialogue was building up between you and me, and ultimately, it is only that dialogue that matters. Some day, I look very much forward to meeting you. In the meantime, I want to thank you for the release of the hostages who are now home with their families. That was a beautiful gesture and was very much appreciated.

If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write. The world, and North Korea in particular, has lost a great opportunity for lasting peace and great prosperity and wealth. This missed opportunity is a truly sad moment in history.

Sincerely yours,

Donald J. Trump
President of the United States of America

NFLowners admit Trump pressured them into banning player protests

TRAVIS GETTYS
24 MAY 2018 AT 09:03 ET

President Donald Trump, in a rare display of modesty, refused to accept credit for a newly enacted ban on NFL player protests — but team owners admit he pressured them into the controversial policy.

Players will not be allowed to protest during the national anthem under the new policy, although they may remain in the locker room, after Trump and some fans complained about silent demonstrations against racism and police brutality.

“I think the people pushed this forward, this was not me,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning. “I brought it out, I think the people pushed it forward. This country’s very smart, we have very smart people. That’s something (that) ideally could have been taken care after it first started, it would have been a lot easier, but if they did that, they’re doing the right thing.”
However, team officials admit they banned player protests to appease Trump, reported Sports Illustrated.

“Oh yeah,” said Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy. “It was more how [Trump] might react, anticipating that. Also, how the fans will react, how the media will react. That’s what we tried to think through.”

“No matter what we did, [Trump] would probably try to get involved one way or the other — either criticizing us or taking credit for the change,” he added...

Anticipating a SCOTUS decision going against it in the case Janus v. AFSCME, which challenges the right of government unions to charge non-members for representing them, the National Education Association (NEA), which embraces a host of leftist positions, is poised to cut its budget by $50 million.

In addition, NEA’s budget committee believes it will lose 307,000 members over the next two years because if SCOTUS rules against it, the fees in 22 states derived from workers who don’t become union members but are covered by union agreements will be eliminated.

In 1977, in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, SCOTUS stated that opponents of unions didn’t have to pay the purely political part of union dues, but had to pay the “fair share” portion. But Janus and others supporting his position aver that the kind of issues public employee unions negotiate are inherently political.

Reportedly, NEA’s leaders will also propose a change to who counts as a member. A new category called ‘community ally’ would be open to "any person who demonstrates support in advancing the cause of public education, who advocates for the mission, vision, and core values of the Association, and who is not eligible for any other membership category."

But the idea of a “community ally” may not fly because of the federal Landrum-Griffin Act which states: “Every member of a labor organization shall have equal rights and privileges within such organization to nominate candidates, to vote in elections or referendums of the labor organization, to attend membership meetings and to participate in the deliberations and voting upon the business of such meetings, subject to reasonable rules and regulations in such organization’s constitution and bylaws.”

Guess that's what happens when you count your chickens before they even fuck and crow like a rooster before you've actually done anything, right stupid Republicans?

Oh well, maybe Trump can dismantle a real accomplishment like President Obama's in Iran, maybe destabilize another region and claim some sort of victory to
Trump's ignorant loser lemmings in the Fox News bubble who will so willingly support their dictator.

You stupid fucking losers.:palm:

Thu, 24 May 2018 12:26:27 GMTThis is getting ridiculous by every and any means possible! :palm:

How anyone can ignore the childishness that going on now in politics is mind blowing. :rolleyes:

It’s hard to imagine the gall it takes to explain Martin Luther King Jr. to his own daughter, but a handful of white guys on Twitter recently attempted to do just that.

It all began when comedian Josh Denny met with some serious Twitter backlash when he claimed that “straight, white male” is the new “N-word.” (A claim which preposterously and conveniently ignores the country’s history of white male privilege.)

Denny dug into his claims, asserting that the term was now used as a way to shut down a person’s opinions based on their “label” — which, Denny says, is a kind of “racism.”

Denny’s assertion was quickly shut down when MLK’s own daughter, Bernice King, chimed in to remind Denny that there is actually a very distinct difference between the racism her father fought against and the perceived oppression currently being experienced by “straight, white males.”

"White people in North America live in a social environment that protects and insulates them from race-based stress. This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress, leading to what I refer to as White Fragility. White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium."

may 23 2018 Esteemed law professor Laurence Tribe warned CNN viewers Tuesday that if they truly want President Trump impeached, they must focus on major abuses of power instead of nitpicking every minor incident.

“If you’re going to shoot him, you have to shoot to kill,” Tribe told CNN’s anti-Trump morning show host Chris Cuomo. “And that requires an overwhelming majority of a bipartisan kind. Otherwise you’re just going to nick the guy, and make him feel empowered and vindicated.”

He later apologized. “In an otherwise good interview I made a terrible word choice, saying an impeachment 'bullet' can only be 'shot once' so one must 'shoot to kill.' I wasn’t speaking literally, but as one who works hard to reduce gun violence this was just inexcusable. I’m very sorry,” he tweeted.
